Tumor-resident microbes (TRM) are an integral component of the tumor microenvironment (TME). TRM can influence tumor growth, distant dissemination, and response to therapies by interfering with molecular pathways in tumor cells as well as with other components of the TME. Novel technologies are improving the identification and visualization of cell type-specific microbes in the TME. The mechanisms that mediate the role of TRM at the primary tumors and metastatic sites are being elucidated. This knowledge is providing novel perspectives for targeting microbes or using microbial interventions for cancer interception or therapy.

Emerging studies have disclosed the pivotal role of cancer-associated microbiota in supporting cancer development, progression and dissemination, with the in-depth comprehending of tumor microenvironment. In particular, certain invasive bacteria that hide in various cells within the tumor tissues can render assistance to tumor growth and invasion through intricate mechanisms implicated in multiple branches of cancer biology. Thus, tumor-resident intracellular microbes are anticipated as next-generation targets for oncotherapy.

Cumulative evidence attests to the essential roles of commensal microbes in the physiology of hosts. Although the microbiome has been a major research subject since the time of Luis Pasteur and William Russell over 140 years ago, recent findings that certain intracellular bacteria contribute to the pathophysiology of healthy vs. diseased tissues have brought the field of the microbiome to a new era of investigation.

The existence of microbiome in human tumors has been determined widely, but evaluating the contribution of intratumoral bacteria and fungi to tumor immunity and prognosis from a pan-cancer perspective remains absent. We designed an improved microbial analysis pipeline to reduce interference from host sequences, complemented with integration analysis of intratumoral microbiota at species level with clinical indicators, tumor microenvironment, and prognosis across cancer types. We found that intratumoral microbiota is associated with immunophenotyping, with high-immunity subtypes showing greater bacterial and fungal richness compared to low-immunity groups.

Introduction: Nowadays, it has been recognized that gut microbiome can indirectly modulate cancer susceptibility or progression. However, whether intratumor microbes are parasitic, symbiotic, or merely bystanders in breast cancer is not fully understood. Microbial metabolite plays a pivotal role in the interaction of host and microbe via regulating mitochondrial and other metabolic pathways.
